What the Core i7-4760HQ is
The Core i7-4760HQ is an Iris Pro Haswell quad for premium laptops on BGA 1364. Intel set 4 cores and 8 threads at 2.1 GHz base with turbo to 3.3 GHz. Six megabytes of Smart Cache cover creation work. Power is 47 W on 22 nm from the second quarter of 2014.
Iris Pro Graphics 5200 from 200 MHz to 1200 MHz leads integrated graphics of its generation for 1080p play and photo edits. Lower base clocks than the 4710HQ trade CPU bursts for graphics strength. Eight threads handle renders beside edits. The soldered package means buyers lock panel and SSD once.
DDR3L-1333 and 1600 over two channels to 32 GB feed cores and Iris Pro graphics. The 4760HQ covers premium thin performance laptops where integrated graphics must carry the machine without discrete heat.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 4760HQ solders to BGA 1364 at 37.5 × 32 mm with premium cooling for 47 W. No swap exists. Shoppers choose display quality and SSD size at order time. Thin Iris bodies often solder memory as well.
Mobile boards tune display outputs around Iris Pro graphics. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered premium limits. Verify panel resolution before purchase.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR3L-1333 and 1600 over two channels to 32 GB suit creation laptops. Paired modules lift Iris Pro in edits. Sixteen gigabytes covers photo work with browsers.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU serves NVMe storage and board devices. Most 4760HQ designs skip discrete graphics for thinness. A fast SSD holds project files.
Cooling uses premium thin pipes and fans for 47 W. Iris loads warm bodies faster than HD loads. Flat desks protect sustained turbo.
Upgrade paths
No soldered upgrade exists. Step down to the Intel Core i7-4710HQ at 2.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz with HD 4600 graphics for higher CPU clocks with discrete GPU pairings. Both share BGA-1364.
